Thank you!
I’ve started hunting these old razors lately, and I’m honestly astonished by the quality and craftsmanship of these 75+ year-old pieces. It’s amazing how well they’ve stood the test of time.

Pre-shave; Warm shower, face rinse with MWF bar soap.
Brush; AP Shave Co, Etched Series ‘’Sea Voyager’’, Red resin handle and a 24mm AP Luxury bulb knot of mixed hair, 70% 2 band Finest Badger & 30% Pure Boar. Looks great with the Old Spice set!!
Soap; Old Spice, soap puck 3.75oz (1965-75) in a late 02 milk-glass mug ‘’Grand Turk’’ (1964-78)
Razor; Gillette. The New, Raised Flat Bottom (RFB), 2 piece razor, OC in Silver plate. From 1934, Set #88.
Blade; Gillette, Super Stainless, the SPOILER. (6)
Post-shave; Shulton, Old Spice Original, milk-glass bottle, 6.37oz/180mls (Bottle style 1996)
Cologne/EDP;
Moisturiser;
Attar (Perfume Oil);
Shave; Very pleasant vintage shave, very smooth following a 2 pass and touch-up shave with the wonderful RFB with a GSS Spoiler blade and ‘’slick as snot’’ Old Spice shave soap (IMHO the slickest soap I’ve used to date of all my soaps, YMMV). Finished with the O/S splash, loved it, I could happily use as my only set-up, but too much other stuff!!
